Custom Code Snippets

Table of Contents

Here, you will find some custom code snippets for various functions that you won’t get on the available plugin settings. This list will keep on updating as we move forward.

Wanna know how to add these custom code snippet?

User Roles #

Give multiple user roles #

As the name suggests, this code will give two roles to the users. It will make the user an admin and an editor. You can add or remove roles from the code as per your need.

add_filter( 'user_registration_after_register_user_action', 'ur_add_user_role', 10, 3 );
function ur_add_user_role( $form_data, $form_id, $user_id ) {
	if ( in_array( $form_id, array( 40 ), true ) ) {
			$user     = new WP_User( $user_id );
			$new_role = array( 'administrator', 'editor' ); // New role to assign to user.
			foreach ( $new_role as $role ) {
			$user->add_role( $role );
		}
	}
}

Username Validations #

For username to be the entered email #

This code will set the email address you have entered as the username for the respective user. 

add_filter( 'user_registration_before_insert_user', 'ur_insert_username', 10, 3 );
function ur_insert_username( $user_data, $valid_form_data, $form_id ) {
    $user_data['user_login'] = $valid_form_data['user_email']->value;
    return $user_data;
}

add_filter( 'user_registration_before_register_user_filter', 'ur_set_email_as_username', 10, 2 );
function ur_set_email_as_username( $valid_form_data, $form_id ) {
    $valid_form_data['user_login'] = $valid_form_data['user_email'];
    return $valid_form_data;
}

Show First Name and Last Name as the username #

This code will concat the first and last name and use it as the username.

add_action( 'user_registration_after_register_user_action', 'ur_insert_username', 1, 3 );
function ur_insert_username( $valid_form_data, $form_id, $user_id ) {
    global $wpdb;
    $firstname = isset( $valid_form_data['first_name'] ) ? $valid_form_data['first_name']->value : '';
    $lastname = isset( $valid_form_data['last_name'] ) ? $valid_form_data['last_name']->value : '';
    $custom_username =  $firstname . "-" . $lastname;
    $user = get_user_by('login', $custom_username);
   
    if( ! empty( $user ) ) {
        $custom_username =  $custom_username ."-" . $user_id;
    }
    $wpdb->update(
        $wpdb->users,
        ['user_login' => $custom_username],
        ['ID' => $user_id]
    );
}

Validation Messages #

Customize the ‘Email already exists’ message #

The code will change the ‘Email already exists’ message to the custom message you put. Just replace ‘Your message goes here’ with your custom message.

add_filter( 'user_registration_validate_user_email_message', 'user_registration_user_email_error_message', 11, 1 );
function user_registration_user_email_error_message( $msg ) {
	if ( 'Email already exists.' === $msg ) {
		return __( 'Your Error Message goes here.', 'user-registration' );
	} else {
		return $msg;
	}
}
Email Suggestion #

If you see ‘Did you mean @example.com?’ when you add an email, use the following code. This removes the Email Suggestion.

add_filter( 'user_registration_mailcheck_enabled', 'false' );
function false() {
return false;
}

Change the error message during lost password #

This code will replace the error message that says ‘Invalid username or email’ with your custom message.

add_filter( 'user_registration_add_error',function( $message ){
 if( 'Invalid username or email.' ===  $message ) {
    $message = __('your custom message','user-registration');
 }
return $message;
});

           return $msg;
});

            $form_id_array = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'ur_form_id' );
            $form_id       = 0;
        $url = '';
            if ( isset( $form_id_array[0] ) ) {

            }

function extend_user_session() {
    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
        $session_expiration = 3 * 30 * 24 * 60 * 60; // 3 months in seconds
        setcookie('wordpress_logged_in', $_COOKIE['wordpress_logged_in'], time() + $session_expiration, '/');
        setcookie('wordpress_sec', $_COOKIE['wordpress_sec'], time() + $session_expiration, '/');
    }
}
